Successful Bethle"ham" dinner tonight. Before dinner was sibling gift opening. I just love that my kids have each other. After dinner was games. Lots of fun with all of us plus two extra in Mason’s friend and Rylie’s friend.

Threw out some Just Dance tonight with M, C, and S. Way fun. Plus Cam and helpers defeated the dragon thing in Minecraft that I don’t understand, but apparently was kind of a big deal. Cam is pretty amazing at Minecraft.

We took a quick Sunday afternoon trip to visit my parents.  We all masked up and tried to keep distance, so hopefully no one spread Covid to Richfield.  

It was really good to see them.

Because of the Savior born two thousand years ago in Bethlehem, there is hope—and so much more. There is redemption, release, victory, and triumph. “The wrong shall fail, the right prevail”. No wonder a choir of angels suddenly appeared as a heavenly exclamation point to the angel’s announcement of the Savior’s birth, singing, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” No message could ever be more reassuring. No message was ever filled with more good will toward men. - L Whitney Clayton

Good - after it finally snowed - day. Shoveled some snow, threw snowballs with Russell, and helped (but mostly watched) Sadie build a snow Winnie the Pooh. Then I played pickleball at the church with Mason, Rylie, and Darren.

 Sometimes setting your expectations low is a good idea. That was true of the Yellow Fork hike.  It was very enjoyable (and steep at the end) but maybe because I wasn't expecting the view at the top of both Utah and Salt Lake Valleys.

 Good Come Follow Me lesson that Sadie led this morning. 

I love David Archuleta’s Christmas song “He is Born”.
